Can you specify which language/translation this applies to?

Sorry but I forgot to mark the "issue" as resolved. You can see that 373 guys passed the JS kata.

Your post seems rather a question than an issue...

Why won't it let me get the right answer?

Maybe because something ca be wrong in your code:-)

When I attempt this kata, it will LITERALLY not let me get the basic test correct. I get the following error:

TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of undefined

...

Cases that cause the error:

return Math.floor(dist);

return Math.ceil(dist - 1);

return Number(dist.toString().match(/.*(?=.)/)[0]);

var dist = -1;
...
return Math.ceil(dist);

...

Cases that do not throw the error, but get the wrong answer:

return Math.ceil(dist); //returns 890

return dist.toString().match(/.*(?=.)/)[0]; //returns '889';

etc.

Why won't it let me get the right answer?
